Engine Type
1.5 LTurbocharged Revotorq Engine
The official title given by the manufacturer in terms of the name of the engine, the displacement and the number of cylinders.
A bigger displacement and more than four-cylinders generally indicate a performance-oriented engine.
Fuel Type
Diesel
All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.
Max Power (bhp@rpm)
108 bhp @ 3750 rpm
Gives a good idea of the performance of the vehicle under full thrust. A higher figure here usually means a higher top speed as well.
Higher the power, the peppier the engine but it can also affect fuel economy.
Max Torque (Nm@rpm)
260 Nm @ 1500 rpm
Relates to in-gear acceleration. A higher figure here means better roll-on acceleration, fewer gear shifts, and possibly better fuel efficiency.
The more torque at low RPM range makes the engine feel more responsive. It also allows the engine to run smoothly without too many gear changes.
Mileage (ARAI)
23.97 kmpl
This is the maximum fuel efficiency that an engine gives. All numbers are provided by the manufacturer based on tests conducted and specified by the standards of the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India)
Such fuel efficiency attained while driving in special conditions makes it unlikely to get it in real-world conditions
Drivetrain
FWD
Cars come with different drivetrain configurations depending on the segment.
Front-wheel drive (FWD) is most common in mainstream cars while expensive cars or SUVs come with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).
Transmission
AMT - 6 Gears
Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels
A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.
Emission Standard
BS 4
Set by the Indian Government, this governs the amount of air pollutants released by cars to make the atmosphere safer for humans.
Turbocharger / Supercharger
Turbocharged
Manufacturers today offer turbochargers to boost engine power without affecting its fuel economy. Superchargers are found in more expensive cars but on the downside, they are not very efficient.
Turbochargers are more effective but require plenty of heat management. Superchargers, meanwhile, offer linear bump in power but they are comparatively more complex.
Dimensions & Weight
Length
3994 mm
The length of the car decides its segment. In India, cars that are less than 4 metres in length enjoy reduced excise duties.
Length: 3994
Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.
Width
1811 mm
A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.
Width: 1811
Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.
Height
1607 mm
The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.
Height: 1607
Taller the car, the more headroom there is on offer inside the cabin. However, a tall boy stance also affect the car’s centre of gravity which can cause more body roll.
Wheelbase
2498 mm
The space between the center of the front and rear wheels.
Wheelbase: 2498
The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.
Ground Clearance
209 mm
It’s the space between the lowest point of the car and the ground.
Ground Clearance: 209
If the car has a good amount of clearance, it’s easier for it to clear big speed breakers and overall, deal with bad roads.
Capacity
Doors
5 Doors
The number of doors define the category of car. For example – four door means sedan, two-door means coupe while five-doors usually refer to a hatchback, MPV or an SUV.
Doors: 5
Seating Capacity
5 Person
The number of people that can be seated comfortably in the car, which has also been mandated by the car manufacturer.

Good product apart from mileage
I purchased tata Nexon xZA+ in April 19.overall performance of the car is good as it is my first car. People having experience of driving manual car may experience leg while gears are changing automatically. The 3 different modes are good and you will enjoy driving on hills and highways at Sport mode. I drove to Goa from Mumbai overall it was a good experience but faced problem in AC as it began heating after 200 KM in the day time. the most disappointing featured is mileage. It only gives 13-14 in City and max 16 at highways. I have driven around 8000kms. Overall good product of TATA.

Genuine Review from a Mechatronics Engineer. Read and decide.
Buying experience was nice. Concorde Motors Kochi was really cooperative right from purchase till delivery and even the service(dealing) is superb. The only downside is with the car. The test drive vehicle that I drove was a gem. No vibration, superb suspension, no ratling, excellent response of AMT gear box, comfort, etc. But the actual vehicle is a bullshit. We gets tired after driving for 30minutes. AMT is heavily jerky, that means zero star for the price. Hill assist is just a myth, even the service centre people don't know how to use it. The power delivery is provisional, it might or might not respond, totally depends on vehicle's mood(it seems). Cornering stability, wow, not sure if it's there or not, no effect. At high speed the vehicle might go out of control. So limit it to speed below 100km. The engine sounds as if it's struggling alot in revs above 2500rpm. During acceleration from 0 the vehicle vibrates heavily and sounds as if it delivering a baby. What a pathetic car for the price of 12.5lk. I crossed 20k kms in the odo. Previously I used Ford Fiesta Classic for 6years and have driven it around 72k kms. The nexon of just 1year old with odo clocking at 20k behaves as if it is older that the 6year old condition of Fiesta. I took the car to service centre several times to rectify the complaints, but even after the service the situation is the same and it seems they have nothing to do with it. One guy told me that the issue could be of clutch and after inspection, the TMS told me that there is no proywith the clutch. Many of my friends and relatives stopped me from going to a Tata product. It's my mistake that I took this bull shit. I should have gone for EcoSport or Creta.
The major downside is the wheel alignment. It costs 960rs, and you cannot do it outside TMS. When I did that my vehicle steering got stuck while driving and somehow managed to escape from an accident.
One more funny thing, the vehicle software gets corrupted near to mobile towers or in the presence of short wave radio signal. The voice commands pops in and sings a lullaby for you on the drive. Really annoying.
So the final verdict is, don't buy this crap. Tata is Tata, no change.
The positive thing is the 5star protection in a crash test, the Harman audio and the great road visibility.

Engine Failure
Bought new car on 7th Sept, run for few hundred kms, on 9th its engine got seized, think twice before buying TATA Nexon.
Asked to settle money, no need of replacement now with this experience.
